'Dr. Chris Farmer is here presenting a very thorough overview of the many ways he has been able to use psychodrama in a number of settings.(he) has made splendid use of sociometry as well as role theory and presents the kind of systems thinking and operations that form the ground of his own work. Although literature on psychodrama is proliferating in many languages, the use of social systems is still fairly rare, and therefore this book is a contribution to what is still, in many ways, a pioneering effort.'- Zerka T. Moreno, from the Foreword.
